The End, but is it?
So last night was the official end of quarter for me, and it was nice. Today, however, was the unofficial beginning of the next. After having a huge fight last night (being somewhat resolved), I woke up this morning to meet the president (of UW). That was fine and dandy and then I went to my first capstone meeting with our client.
It went really well and we worked out some confusions — and then realized, yes this is going to be huge. But huge is good!!
After the meeting, Jamie, Rufino & I debriefed and decided it would be good to start thinking about what we need to figure out for Thursday’s database meeting. I’m excited about this section, most likely because I feel the most confident about them. Come on — a contact database system? 
After all that Rufino and I went out for Chinese and ending up doing the buffet. Lots of freaking carbs - everything was either breaded & deep fried or covered in a sweet sauce. We were both responsible and ate all our food (as to not get charged for ‘wasting’).
I went to work and got the usual random requests and stuff like that. I then met with Tracy for our every-so-often-bi-weekly meeting. It started off pretty nice and then she started asking me all about when I think I was leaving, when I would find out if I was getting a job elsewhere, reminding me that my employment is somewhat tenative there, etc. etc. Talk about stressful. Then I got to vent a little about my frustrations that I’ve been having the last oh.. two/four years there?
Now I’m feeling very vulnerable.. nothing is extremely stable in my life. Having recent relationship problems, not knowing what I’ll be doing come March, sort of not-really-break start of week– I am now sitting here feeling like I’m going to break down and cry… seriously … all it would take is someone to walk over to my desk and be like “Trevor, you suck.” and I’ll just cry… so embarassing. Thank goodness only 8 more minutes left.
Now off to my next meeting, luckily it won’t be very stressful.

Dude, I often forget that there are a few people who graduate a full quarter earlier than the rest of us (something I learned just today while talking with Ryan) - you all must have so much more pressure on yourselves than the rest of us. Don’t sweat it tho’ - I’m sure that you’ll do well come March, and have that sweet job that pays $75k entry.
Hey Trevor, you suck.
OK, just kidding. I hope you aren’t crying right now. Honestly I know what you are talking about. Even though the quarter is finally over, the stress continues on into the break. Try not to worry about things too much, and give yourself a much deserved break when you start stressing.
